Bills lose on ticket revenue after game relocated

The Bills will have to “reimburse more than 70,000 ticket holders" after their game against the Browns was moved from Highmark Stadium to Ford Field in Detroit. Bills season-ticket holders and those who purchased single game tickets through the Bills ticket office, Ticketmaster and on the NFL Ticket Exchange “will be reimbursed.” Moving the game means the "loss of somewhere in the vicinity” of $8M in ticket revenue. The Bills also will "lose out on parking and concession revenue" and will have to "absorb the added expenses of traveling and staying in Detroit.” Tickets for today's game went on sale Friday for Bills season-ticket holders, with general admission sales following that, "helping the team gain back some of those lost funds" (BUFFALO NEWS, 11/18).
